Michigan author to release new novel, a ghost story

Raven's Fire
By John Gubbins

“Raven’s Fire” is a ghost story that involves a 30-year-old secret that tears apart Joe’s and Carol’s marriage and sends Joe into his beloved woods to recuperate, only to discover that they’re filled with evil spirits.
When a person dies, an ancient spirit takes his soul to the next life. This spirit is Pauguck, the Retriever of Souls, and he has a long-standing feud with Raven, a mischievous spirit who blinds the spirits of the dead.
So when two men – including Joe – are on a river trip in the woods, Pauguck does not think his services will be needed, but Raven is intent on ending both men’s lives.
Filled with ancient spirits and deadly secrets, “Raven’s Fire” is sure to keep your heart racing, for no one is safe from the terror of the river.


John Gubbins lives with his wife, Carol, alongside the Escanaba River in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He spends his free time with Carol and his son, Alex, fishing, camping, and reading poetry. Alex is a published poet, attends and teaches in the MFA program at Northern Michigan University, and lives nearby in Marquette, Michigan.
Mr. Gubbins’ first novel, “Profound River,” a historical novel set in Fifteenth Century Britain, has been acclaimed for its lyrical writing, scholarship, and originality.
